Discover the excellence of Union locks
Union locks are a British brand founded over 180 years ago and provide an innovative range of locking solutions.
Their long-standing British heritage shows in the quality of locks manufactured for both residential and commercial purposes, and they have come to be known for highly reliable locking mechanisms.
They boast a more traditional style, which is suitable for timber doors on older properties, but they still have the high certification of British Standards to prevent against burglary attempts.
Union door locks are simple to install but offer long-lasting high-security locking solutions, especially their range of mortice locks. What’s more, they are compatible with a range of cylinders to provide a master key system ideal for front and back doors of residential properties.
Union locks are found right across the UK, and our qualified locksmiths can repair or replace them, whether they are installed on internal or external doors.
Popular Union locks for residential and commercial properties
With such an array of quality, designed door locks, we can offer expert advice to homeowners and businesses on which door lock is best for them. Some of our most popular Union locks include:
Union 5-lever mortice deadlock
When you need a lock that is not only going to provide superior levels of protection and peace of mind, but is also designed to insurance standards, then the mortice deadlock is a great choice. They feature anti-drill and anti-bump protection, as well as having solid steel internal components within the mortice.
Union sash locks
A sash lock for composite doors and timber doors combines a sturdy deadbolt and an interior latch in one single lock body. The levers within the 3- and 5-lever versions make picking the lock extremely difficult, so you can be sure that when you flip the latch and lock it with the key that it’s going to stay closed.
BS3621 certified deadlocks
Deadlocks are ideal for homes where you want to be sure your door is shut and fully locked at all times, until you decide to open it. The deadlock function pushes a bolt inside the frame, which can only be opened manually by twisting the thumb turn or by using the key. What’s more, you can be sure that this type of lock will be suitable for any insurance purposes.
Advantages of Union locks
When you choose a Union lock, you’re benefiting from a whole host of advantages, including:
- Durability and full compatibility with BS timber doors, whether front, back, or internal
- High-quality steel is used in the construction process
- Very long lifespan when fitted correctly
- Resistant to many common forms of picking and snapping
- BS3621-rated locks for insurance purposes
- Can be used both domestically and residentially
- Designed to be fitted quickly on many types of door
Choosing a type of lock for your door is an important part of your overall security, and you can be sure that Union door locks will never let you down. It is not the case to be worried when having a Union lock installed properly by our experts.
Should you choose a 5-lever mortice deadlock or a mortice sashlock?
We advise our clients that a 5-lever mortice deadlock is one of the best ways to secure your home, especially when it’s designed by Union and is fully BS3621 compliant.
A 5 lever mortice deadlock is a top choice if you want an easy installation with a fire-rated product that has a number of safety features to improve the minimum security requirements.
If your door doesn’t open with a handle, then the night latch can be added separately.
When you want deadlock security but also can open it easily from the inside with a latch, opt for a 5-lever mortice sashlock.
Match your Union door locks with your door handles
It can sometimes be hard to create the best balance between the functionality of a door lock and the aesthetic values it brings, especially if you have an older heritage property like many of the multi-story townhouses in Kensington.
As Union has so many amazing styles, colours and finishes to choose from, you can view our guide brochure to decide exactly what type of door lock and door furniture you want.
We carry a range of products, including 5-lever mortice deadlocks and 3-lever installations for interior doors, suitable for landlords with multiple tenants, or commercial office spaces that require master keys.
Whatever you need, give us a call today on 07884675945 and we’ll be happy to show you door locks that match your existing door perfectly.
Improve your home insurance with burglar-proof security solutions
BS3621 locks from Union are built to prevent intruders from gaining access to your property, as they have built-in anti-pick, anti-saw, and anti-drill features.
A burglar can’t get into your home easily and quietly when you have a BS3621 lock, as the anti-pick technology on the cylinder and anti-manipulation technology on the latch prevent it from being unlocked by anything except the key that was designed for it.
The basic standards for ground floor locks on exterior doors require that the lock has been awarded this certification, and the installation must also meet security standards.
For example, screws should not be able to be accessed easily to unscrew the lock from the door, and the bolt must go at least 20mm into the frame’s faceplate for security.
If you’re unsure if your lock is BS3621 approved or not, you can check to see if it has the Kitemark stamped on it.
